The Postal Service has identified a payroll processing error involving overtime during the September 29 to October 12 pay period, and which will be reflected in paychecks dated October 19, 2018.

This has resulted in discrepancies in some employees’ overtime pay. Those employees have been identified, and most are in APWU (American Postal Workers Union) bargaining positions. Regular-hour pay is not affected, and Postal Service management is working to correct the issue as quickly as possible.

Adjustments are being made so that missing overtime will be included on the November 2 pay, and other minor adjustments will be on the November 16 pay.

Any employee affected may request a salary advance, which is paid by money order, in accordance with USPS policies. Some policy restrictions on overtime pay advances are being waived for pay period 21 only, to accommodate affected employees. If you wish to request a salary advance, contact your immediate supervisor. Those employees who have access to a postal computer may refer to the Accounting web-page on Blue for more information.
